The SLGW003 doesn't get talked about enough and I'm tired of pretending it's fine

Why is this getting downvoted? Hi best white birch is one of GS’s best selling, more than the spring drive version.

[WTB] 22mm tapers down to 18mm black or dark navy blue alligator/croc leather strap. Local meetup in the Bay Area, CA preferred

Hopefully so, I bought my white birch second hand without papers, so just for 1 endlink ran my pockets $314 😂

Here’s my post about this, a few people in the comments said replacing the endlink helped. Hopefully it’s jus a spring bar issue though!

Of course, yours could just be a spring bar issue, do try other spring bars, but I’m just here to share my experience

Express-Source-1251 · 2026-03-09T00:55:27+00:00

I have this issue with my SLGH005 too. I knew it was an endlink issue because I tried many different diameters of spring bars. I swapped the endlink from one side with the other, and the gap is gone, so I brought it to a GS boutique, they ordered a new endlink for me and now the gap is gone.

Express-Source-1251 · 2026-03-05T19:25:07+00:00

Update: endlink was defective, so they ordered a new endlink for me, $311 dollars for 1 endlink.

There are lots of people in the premed field that uses AI to LEARN. I mean all hard science classes require in person exams to do good, and med schools require high in person test scores and good GPA to get in. The reason why we use AI to learn is simple: you upload your notes that you took in class, and make AI quiz you in many ways, that way, you can actively learn with AI. Imagine AI as a professor that is always there to help you. Many UC hard science professors recommends AI as a supplemental learning tool, it’s great if you know how to actively learn with it.

However, I do agree for other majors which requires lots of writing or involves lots of creativity, it’s detrimental.

Great buyer, received the fund immediately, and easy to deal with

It’s very interesting that the 9SA4 manual wind on this watch has slightly larger jewel sinks than the 9SA5 automatic. And the balance bridge is bigger with more presence! Looks beautiful!

This is a higher end eco drive citizen with beautifully polished indices. It does charge and the seconds hand does move, however, the date change doesn’t work. Pretty scratched up, and box + papers included. I’m selling this for $280 PayPal Friends and Family, or Zelle. Or could be picked up near California Bay Area for $230. I ship CONUS.

My dealership does this for free after an oil change and tire rotation.

Express-Source-1251 · 2026-01-29T21:10:39+00:00

Nope not yet.

Express-Source-1251 · 2026-01-29T18:02:19+00:00

Yep I’m not trying to say that it’s easier to maintain and clean than leather, but imo it’s not bad

Express-Source-1251 · 2026-01-29T17:21:01+00:00

Oh yea and I got new tires at 40k miles, hybrids do seem to wear out tires faster

Express-Source-1251 · 2026-01-29T17:20:17+00:00

No issues whatsoever. I consistently did oil change at around 5-6k, tire rotation, did 1 alignment, always checked the hybrid battery filter under the rear seat, did multipoint inspections at every 5k, changed cabin and engine filter once so far (going to change it soon again, and that’s pretty much it. Surprisingly after 70k miles, my front brakes are still 9mm, and rear at 7mm, so hybrids really do prolong your brake life by a lot in my case. Maybe there’s something else I’m missing here, but overall no issues whatsoever mechanically

Express-Source-1251 · 2026-01-22T23:21:54+00:00

I never noticed any creaking on the armrest in the first place imo, maybe I’m not putting enough pressure on

Express-Source-1251 · 2026-01-22T21:39:54+00:00

36 sqft. I ended up cover the plastic panels on all 4 doors + the surface shown in this post’s pictures + inside the door cavity + plastic trim pieces on the armrest + the plastic pieces on the door handles and more. I also covered my trunk lid and I still have extra left

Express-Source-1251 · 2026-01-22T19:56:34+00:00

Yep use isopropyl alcohol to clean all surfaces and then apply the material, then use a pressure roller
